Grinnell were arrested. They were found

denied having had anything to do with the
killing of Smith. He said he had concealed

the murder of her husband, has fully identi-
fed Roche as the murderer and Grinnell as
the man who accompanied him.

Garden City Ministers.

NEW YORK, March 13.-Rev. N. B.
Thompson, pastor of the Free Baptist
church, took for his subject for this even

Ward Beecher. Referring to the recent
action of the Chicago Congregational min
listers in refusing to SEND resolutions of con-
dolence to Mrs. Beecher, he said.
Their disgraceful action is simply mani
festation of purely denomiuational meanness
anG jealousy. They are nothing more than
midgets and dwarfs to that great man. His
mantle, which has fallen, is too large for
them and is capable of covering nine-tenths
of the men who occupy Chicago churches.

AS whole the Northwestern league

piece of work. Some things in it will
doubtless be critlcised-fOr instance, the
playing of games in Duluth amid the ice
tipped Zephyrs of Lake Superior in October
and increasing the number of games from
so to 126-but there is nothing so seri-
ously out OF place as to call for condemna-
ton. To make up the circuits so that trav-
cling expenses would be equalzed and re-
duced to minimum it was necessary that
the season should begin in the south and
end in the north, or vice versa, and the

The number of games was increased from
so to 126. the National league schedule, on
the ground that the teams might as well
be playing ball as lying idle. The obiec-
tons TO the new arrangement are that il is
liable, in general way, to give tine public
a surfeit of the sport, and, through the
widening of the gap between the teams. to
cause many to stay away from the games
because of the certainty that their favorites
cannot win the pennant. The arguments
for and against the change are of about
equal weight, so the test of experience will
be awaited with interest
